Abstract
Preliminary data are reported on 10 former human heroin addicts who maintained long-term occasional patterns of heroin use. Emphasis is placed on the degree of their past addiction and present control. The implications of the existence of such users for etiological theories, treatment and further research are discussed.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
